“I have been listening to Jon for a couple of years now, and he is definitely the best overall 49ers podcast out there. He has great energy, commitment, great football knowledge, respect for the game and ability to express his opinions in a way that is simultaneously positive, upbeat (really appreciated), and anchored and expertise based on clear and relevant experience as a player and coach, and realistic facts which I appreciate as a longtime player and coach (and teacher) myself. One of his greatest assets though, also appears as (to me) his greatest flaw. In his genuine, humble and admirable attempt to build community and connections, he indulges idiots more than he should. Whether it is the super chat, comments, or other loyal YouTube followers, four out of five of the comments he reads on air are just absolutely stupid, but he kindly and respectfully talks through them in a way that is a complete waste of time for anyone who knows anything about the 49ers and football already. The same goes for his show with Wayne. Wayne seems like a nice guy, but his takes are alternately completely basic or completely biased, and therefore dilutes the show to the point that listening is a waste of my time. Jon is at his best by himself, when he can talk about film, use his well done research, etc..”
